Colombie: une première union à trois reconnue légalement.

Le voisinage connaît bien le « trouple » qui attire tant l'attention, puisqu'il vit dans une résidence pavillonnaire depuis une dizaine d'années. « On ne s'est jamais cachés ! », sourit Manuel Bermúdez sur le perron de sa maison tout en saluant l'une de ses voisines. Víctor Hugo Prada, comédien, Manuel Bermúdez, journaliste, et Alejandro Rodríguez, éducateur sportif, partagent leur vie depuis quatre ans, même 20 ans pour ces deux derniers.

Why the ‘Tinder for threesomes’ is much more than it seems. Zoe* was heartbroken.
She’d been brutally dumped by her fiancé. As is typical in 2016, her friends had one consistent piece of advice: Get on some dating apps. But Zoe didn’t want to date, at least not exactly. All she wanted was a distraction, ideally of the sexual kind. “I didn’t feel totally comfortable with some of the regular dating apps,” she said. So, one hungover Saturday morning, Zoe downloaded an app she’d heard about from a friend. EA introduces new gender options in 'The Sims' Today Electronic Arts Inc. announced a significant free* update to its popular game The Sims 4 that allows players a greater range of gender customization options when creating their Sims.

Meternity Leave: Woman Wants Time Off Though She's Not a Mom - Motto. Meghann Foye was working as a magazine editor in her early 30s when she noticed a trend: Her coworkers with children would leave at 6 p.m., “while it was assumed coworkers without kids would stay behind to pick up the slack,” she told New York Post.
“There’s something about saying ‘I need to go pick up my child’ as a reason to leave the office on time that has far more gravitas than, say, ‘My best friend just got ghosted by her OkCupid date and needs a margarita’—but both sides are valid.” Since she doesn’t have children, Foye said she never got the desired “me time” that she saw the parents in her office receive. So she invented “meternity leave.” Getty launches gender fluid stock image project Genderblend.
Stock images hold an unusual but outsized importance in our culture.
For the unfamiliar, these are the pre-shot photos catalogued with generic names like “woman at work” and “man out on a date” that media, teachers, and even corporations pull to illustrate their materials. To generalize—stock images are cheesy as hell, frequently white-washed, and often the wallpaper we forget but our subconscious retains. They also have the ability to shape visual representation of what constitutes as “normal” in our culture, turning the previously taboo, like interracial dating and gay marriage, into the “acceptable.”
For these reasons it’s remarkable that Getty Images, the popular stock image agency—and full disclosure, a client of Fusion—recently expanded its portfolio to include photo collections featuring gender non-conforming straight, queer, and trans women, as well as powerful #girlbosses and dads embracing traditionally female gender roles. Getty Images/ Lean In series. "Regretter d'être mère", le débat qui secoue l'Allemagne. Oregon Court Allows a Person to Choose Neither Sex. Photo A judge in Oregon has granted a petition allowing a person to legally choose neither sex and be classified as nonbinary: an important development for transgender Americans while civil rights and sexual identity are in the national spotlight, advocates and legal experts said.
Though the petition was granted with little fanfare in a two-paragraph decision on Friday, the experts said that, to their knowledge, the ruling was the first of its kind in the country. Deadpool, explained. Deadpool is getting a sequel.
That's impressive, given that the movie — which is led by an actor who hasn't had a box office smash since 2009 — earned a follow-up film before it was even released, and thus before it made a single penny on American soil. On the surface, it sounds like blazing insanity on Fox's part. But it isn't. Not even close. The studio's confidence in Deadpool stems from the character's unique place in the Marvel Universe. And while his raunchy humor and cynicism are what the character has become known for, Deadpool also represents something unique to comic books: He's part of a narrative that's run continually for 25 years and has changed and adapted in different ways, under different writers and artists along the way.
How Deadpool came to be The key to understanding Deadpool is to understand the era in which he was created. 50% of Millennials believe gender falls on a spectrum. Half of all Millennials believe that gender exists on a spectrum, and shouldn’t be limited to the categories of male and female, according to Fusion’s Massive Millennial Poll, which surveyed 1,000 people aged 18-34 about everything from politics to dating to race issues.
The findings suggest young people are moving away from a binary conception of gender, a major shift from previous generations. (For full results and methodology, click here.) Some subsets of Millennials are even more progressive on the issue: 57 percent of female Millennials believe that gender falls on a spectrum, according to the poll, compared with 44 percent of men.
And Millennials in the Northeast were even more likely to say so, at 58 percent. How Virtual Reality Porn Helped Me Come to Terms with Monogamy. Photo via Flickr user We Are Social No matter how good a relationship is, I start to get bored after the one-year mark.
It happens like clockwork. The desire starts to wane, I start looking for an out, and then immediately try to find validation from someone new. This, I'm told, is serial monogamy—described by the Cambridge Dictionary as "the fact or custom of having a number of sexual relationships one after another, but never more than one at a time. " I get into relationships for the feeling of security, but I can't keep it up in the long-term because I need constant validation.
The problem with serial monogamy, of course, is that it isn't sustainable. Eventually, the desire to cheat became almost unbearable. It was around the same time that I got my first virtual reality headset. Related: Pornhub Brings Bad Virtual Reality Porn to the Masses. The Tampon of the Future. Photo IS it possible to extract blood from people without causing pain?

Violences conjugales : le tabou des hommes battus. « C’est un médecin légiste qui a répertorié mes blessures. » Le corps de Maxime Gaget, 38 ans, yeux calmes derrière des lunettes fines, restera à vie marqué par les coups de sa compagne.

Trans-harvard-swimmer-schuyler-bailar-60-minutes. Schuyler Bailar made headlines over the summer when he joined the men's swimming team at Harvard after initially being recruited for the women's team. After taking a gap year and coming out to his family, friends, and coach, Bailar had planned to live as a man without taking hormones so he could still compete on the women's team per NCAA rules. Harvard told him he'd be just as welcome on the men's team, and Bailar had to choose between continuing to dominate in the breaststroke or finally being himself. He chose the latter, and he's believed to be the first out trans athlete to compete in an NCAA Division I men's sport and the first trans swimmer. In a 60 Minutes interview that aired last night, Bailar reflected on his first season with the Crimson and how he's learned to manage his athletic expectations. He had to make a lot of adjustments, including getting used to wearing the men's swimsuit with his double-mastectomy scars exposed, and being okay with not making it to the podium.

The label will stage one show each season, though it’s not clear at what point during the fashion calendar this will be. Is Men In Beauty Ads the Next Step for the Makeup Industry? Drugstore beauty brand Maybelline posted a photo of a beauty blogger on its Instagram — something the brand often does. The difference: This blogger, who has over 1.5 million followers on Instagram, happened to be male. Manny Gutierrez, the blogger in question, joins a growing number of talented beauty bloggers with a belief that makeup is ungendered — and brands are recognizing them for doing so.
Men are not well-represented in the beauty industry — just take a glance at the makeup ads in the latest issue of Vogue or Glamour. But many male beauty bloggers have developed huge followings regardless, Who’s ‘They’? We are witnessing a great explosion in the way that human beings are allowed to express their gender identities. We are also hearing a lot of awkward conversations.
What are we supposed to ... call everyone? The inconvenient truth about love. Hannah K. Lee When Gwyneth Paltrow announced her split from her husband using the term “conscious uncoupling,” the media and blogosphere went wild. While some commentators congratulated the couple for taking a non-confrontational approach to divorce, most people ridiculed them for using a new-age euphemism for what is necessarily a dark, painful life event.
The two of us may not be experts about conscious uncoupling, but we believe that the derision was misplaced. While death cannot be made less frightening by labeling it “kicking the bucket,” and toilets cannot be made cleaner by calling them “restrooms,” we respectfully disagree that divorce cannot be made less painful through rebranding and rethinking. The demise of a long-term relationship is sad, and changes in family structure are difficult for everyone involved. Ask yourself this: Are you the sort of person who gets divorced? ‘Bro’-liferation.

Single Women Are Our Most Potent Political Force. Season 3 of Comedy Central's Broad City Makes You Wonder: Are Abbi and Ilana Starring in a Rom-Com?
In an early scene of the new season of Broad City, premiering this week on Comedy Central, Ilana, carried away by her love for best friend, finds herself making a suggestion that is as awkward as it is totally appropriate. “Let’s get married!” She tells Abbi. The two have just had a series of traumatic experiences: Abbi has had a run-in with a runaway porta-potty, and Ilana has gotten stuck, via a magnetized bike chain, to the back of a delivery truck, and they’ve each been totally scared, and ... well, the context doesn’t really matter.
What matters is that their near-death experiences, with all their attendant wackiness, filter down to the same thing that every scene in Broad City will come down to, in the end: the intimacy Abbi and Ilana share. And the question of what that intimacy is, definitionally. Abbi and Ilana spend most of their free time together. All the Single Ladies. After the Transgender Tipping Point. Dolls and Feelings.
